Ji Chang Wook Catches Flack for Posting Grungy Smoking Pictures

View Comments

• Wow. How is this even news? Let the man live. Lol

  • Exactly. They just want news.

    • Yes, get a life. He's only human like the rest of us.

  • Exactly? How is this a news? ?

  • Well he achieved more feedback with his saga than his return news and news of his poor choice of drama combined. If he did it to remind viewers hes back and alive in the industry. Hes achieved what he wanted.

  • Yes I know right, it's like who cares. It's his life if he wants to smoke he can smoke. Just leave him the fuck alone

• He acted well in a couple of dramas. Nice visuals, look great in pictorials & CFs. But he always gave me the impression of putting on an act in interviews to create an image of the gentlemanly, shy, good boy type. I could be wrong...

  • Disgusting!!!

  • I thought it was only me over thinking... I even felt like falling for it esp when he casted together with NJH. All the bts and promo videos made me like the casting choices for lead couple but sometimes really he feels distant and suddenly acts like another cute-ish shy boy type on cams. It feels odd somehow

• I think it's good he's trying to be himself and not selling a perfect boy image. It must be so tiring to be restrained everytime. Smoking is bad for health, but he's an adult and it's his body.

  • Totally agree with. Leave him alone.

  • Right. It's a personal choice View from a distance it's not your life. How this is news is beyond me.

• Are we even surprised he smokes? People are so quick to buy whatever public persona a celebrity puts out. What you see is never what you get

• OMG he’s smoking a cigarette and if he does this often why is this news? GDragon smokes too and no one bats an eyelid. He’s still hot either way and I’m not fazed by it but it’s obvious that the anti smoke brigade have certainly got their knickers in a twist over it.

  • I guess almost every celeb smokes.. Its just being made a big issue

    • I remember Hyun Bin had pictures of him smoking in a one day journey type of photoshoot for a magazine years ago. I suppose nearly every Korean actor smokes and drinks in real life but just choose not to show it too obviously or else it will tarnish their carefully cultivated public image. Behind closed doors, who knows what other typical male habits they have. Watching porn? Normal too. In fact, many famous athletes and pastors have confessed to watching porn in the western countries so much so that people don't bat an eyelid anymore with these kind of confessions. JCW may have been a smoker for a long time but choosing it now to be seen in public may possibly tell me he is showing his true self. In his IG, there are many photos of him going on holiday to Thailand with his male friends. In South-East Asian countries, there is a joke amongst women that when men organized an all-male trip to Thailand, it can only mean one thing. High school boys, college boys, young male adults and uncles have done it as a rite of passage like western boys doing their OE or gap year travelling.

• well, smoking not smoking two different things that i won't comment about (even though i super hate smokers) but who on earth record this kind of video and actually put it on social network like this?! & he is not even a teenager! ??

• Ji Chang Wook has been taking a weird turn lately.

  • Because he smokes? lol

  • You're the one that's weird for thinking smoking cigarette is weird. It's not a big deal. He's fine.

    Koala shouldn't even need to post it, but she likes drama (fiction and non fiction). So, here we are.

    • No he has been doing other weird things too. Something is off about him. I will wait and watch him for now.

• Idiotic move on his part to live stream this.

  Second if he smokes around other people. Also bad due to second hand smoke on top of ruining his own health.

  However...but... smoking does not make him a bad person although he chose this unhealthy habit.

  So many korean male actors smokes. Not saying that it should be normalized but others should get grievance and criticize as well. Because yes smoking is unhealthy to yourself and others around you.

  He looks kind of stressed out in the photos so I wish him good luck with whatever he deals with. From hearing from my friends and family who smoke, they generally smoked due to having life struggles. So I think he most likely is struggling with something. So I wish you well ji chang wook.

• I personally could care less if people I don't know, especially celebs smoke. I always found it weird how fans would get all up in arms and start nagging the celebs about their health. They are all adults, and they aren't friends or fam, so if they wanna ruin their health let them do whatever.

  But I've never gotten the hype about jcw, seems like he is only really popular for his looks. His acting I find just okay. He likes to portray himself as a shy guy and stuff but I never bought it. Also his whole thing with the burning sun/arena thing and his nightclub image just shows a whole different side to the real him.

  • I still like him as an actor but as for his real persona, I always find it a bit ambivalent. I hope he gets all the help he needs if he's going through a tough time. This will teach all the shippers a lesson that any actor/actress that they idolised is not a saint in real life.

• First time ever commenting on something. But hell this is ridicolous. He s smoking a cigarette that legal and legally sold and to think that his image is ruined by smoking is absolutely crazy... he s a real person not a perfect doll made for us to fantasize on. Let the man has his vice and be human with fault and all
